La ciudad de los palacios
The city of palaces
Va dejando paso a el alba
Is giving way to dawn
Se va perdiendo la calma
Calm is fading away
Para cuando el sol asoma
Just as the sun peeks out
Todo el esplendor decrece
All the splendor dwindles
La gente en las calles toma
People fill the streets
Catedral desaparece entre smog
Cathedral vanishes in the smog
Y caca de paloma
And pigeon droppings
